Two-tier storage that stays out of the way
Our double wall shelves are made in stainless steel for better resistance to moisture, steam and general kitchen wear. That matters in Gauteng kitchens with heavy daily service, and even more near coastal areas where humidity can be tough on painted fittings. The standard build uses straight, clean lines so dirt has fewer places to build up.
- Two shelf levels for dry storage and light equipment
- Stainless steel construction for food service areas
- Wall-mounted to free up floor and counter space
- Supplied in sizes to suit compact or larger work areas
- Can be made to match existing prep tables and counters
If you need a specific depth or length, we can make to size. That helps when the wall space is interrupted by a window, extractor canopy, service hatch or tiled splashback. A custom shelf also gives a neater fit than trying to force a standard unit into the wrong gap.
Where it works best in day-to-day service
Typical sizes are chosen around the wall space available and the load you want to place on the shelf. Common lengths range from 900 mm to 1800 mm, with custom lengths available for awkward runs. Depth is often 250 mm to 300 mm per tier, though we can adjust this if you need a little more room for tubs or equipment.
Most clients choose a plain stainless finish for easy cleaning, but we can also build with reinforcing, upturned edges or extra support depending on the application. If the shelf will be fitted above a hot area, such as near a gas range or bain-marie, we will advise on spacing and heat exposure so the installation remains practical.
- Length: 900 mm, 1200 mm, 1500 mm, 1800 mm or custom
- Depth: usually 250 mm to 300 mm per shelf
- Material: stainless steel commercial grade
- Mounting: wall brackets or support system matched to the wall type
- Finish: plain or with optional safety edges
Installation, fixing and site checks
Cleaning is simple if the shelf is wiped regularly with warm water and a mild kitchen detergent. Dry it after washing to reduce water spots, especially in hard-water areas. Avoid harsh scouring pads and strong chemicals that can mark the finish over time. If the shelf is close to a sink or steamer, a quick daily wipe will keep it looking tidy and help stop grease build-up.
Like other commercial stainless items, the shelf will last longer if it is not overloaded with heavy stock. Keep bulk tins, gas cylinders and large appliances on the floor or on purpose-built racking. If brackets loosen over time, have them checked and tightened before the shelf starts to sag. Small maintenance checks save bigger problems later, and the shelf stays straight and safe.
- Wipe down after service and once more at close-up
- Check fixings monthly in high-use kitchens
- Keep acidic cleaners off the metal surface
- Do not exceed the intended load rating
What to confirm before you order
When ordering a double wall shelf, it helps to have the wall measurement, the space above and below it, and an idea of what you want to store. Tell us if the shelf will sit above a prep table, sink or hot line so we can plan the height properly. If you are replacing an old shelf, send the existing size and we can work from that.
It also helps to mention whether the site is in a high-humidity area, a rental premises with tiled walls, or a kitchen that may be expanded later. That way we can make a shelf that suits the present layout and still leaves room for future changes. If you are doing a full fit-out, we can also help with custom prep tables, shelving and racking, counter modifications and stainless recladding so the finished area works as one setup.
